It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

I really enjoyed listening to that. I was quite surprised with the sound of a piano that old!. It sounded great! Does anyone know the composer to that piece? Is it a rag/jazz piece? It sounds pretty much both.

Thanks for the kind words, Googlism. I think it sounds pretty good for a $20.00 piano that was 300 cents flat when I got it. It cost $65.00 to have it moved and $15 for the materials to put the Miller player action back in operating condition. So for $100.00 total, I have a working almost antique player. You might be interested in knowing that the recording was made 10 months after a tuning. I think it holds tuning pretty good.

Half of a letterTells half a storyThe way I see itIt's half the worryWhere I came fromI forgot too soon...East of the sunAnd west of the moon

Money talksAnd hey, I'm listeningI've lived without itEnough to miss itWhere I'm goingI'll get there soonEast of the sunAnd west of the moon

Ooh, never gonna get there laterYou know, I wanna get there soonNever gonna get there, babyOn a desert road to homeEast of the sunAnd west of the moon

Another day leaves me achingI try to wake upBut something's breakingHere inside meDeep and hollowA sound that no other sound could followI know the painBefore the woundEast of the sunAnd west of the moon

Bryant... what a way to start my Sunday morning listening to this song. My eyes fill with tears once again & I sob once more over the loss of my mother knowing how sweetly she would have sung this song. As difficult as it is to hear "her" music I thank you (& Frank) for stirring up beautiful, memorable thoughts of her on a Sunday morning. We almost always spoke around this time on Sunday mornings if I wasn't down there visiting with her. I'll just accept this as a visit from her. It sort of reassures me that her (& just recently my dad) are together once again and she wants me to know they are fine.
